If I had a Canon lens that was so rare that evenCanon did not have a copy, my first inclination would be to ask Canon if they wanted to buy it........

Can anyone enlighten me as to why on earth canon speedlites and transmitters wont work in second curtain flash mode wireless , however the Yongnuo copy transmitter and flashes do and in fact the yongnuo transmitter sends the info to a canon flash and works fine but using the canon transmitter wont work , cant work out any sense in this ? , my YN transmitter is however poorly made and falling to bits so having to botch it to get it working and would have rather relied on the Canon !!....

Perhaps you could try something like a Zacuto viewer attached to your 1DX?
That way, you can still hold it up to your eye and see the rear screen.
You might find it more comfortable to use with a shoulder rig to help with all the forward weight.

No matter what display mode you're in, I don't think any of them make it so that not even the AF points or 3x3 grid (if you have it turned on) show up in the EVF. And that is what this is.

When I say nothing in the EVF, again, I mean NOTHING. Even though I have the 3x3 grid turned on, it's not there. No AF points show up at all. All you see is the feed of what the sensor is seeing, nothing else. When I turn the camera off and then back on, everything comes back, including the 3x3 grid, the AF points, and all of the other info.

This is not just me accidentally putting the camera into a certain mode without realizing it. This is a bug.

How about the new 50mm 1.4f?!

Good question - I haven't seen any reviews of that lens yet...even user reviews at B&H.

The 18-200mm sounds real sweet.
This would be my one lens.
If wider were needed my current EF-S 10-18mm covers that in a light compact package.

APS-C was created, among other reasons, as a way to make DSLR cameras affordable too the masses.

You are not going far enough back. It is true that smaller image sensors cost less per unit area than large sensors. That's due to imperfections on the surface of silicon wafers, the larger the sensor, the more likely it will have imperfections, so more are unusable. Small sensors also fit more efficiently on a circular wafer, so there is less waste.

THE APS (advanced photo system) was first created for film cameras. Film came in APS-H (30.2 X 16.7 mm), APS-C (25.1 X 16.7 mm), and APS-P (30.2 × 9.5 mm). I had a Canon APS film camera that came with a 22-55mm zoom. (It might still be in my box of old cameras). APS (active pixel sensor) has another meaning with regard to sensors, CMOS sensors use APS technology which can confuse the situation.

APS-C size digital sensors used a similar crop factor to APS-C film. The Canon D30 and D60 were Canon's first APS-C DSLRs and not created for the masses, but for prosumers. APS-H DSLRs were the first pro level sensors used in Canon D1 series cameras and also based on APS film.

After the D30 and D60, and 10D, Canon shocked the industry with the Digital Rebel using APS-C sensors and a $1K price tag.

maybe this review suits you. I agree with him, the AF-nose-problem is in my case not like he explained but yeah.. make your one opinion

Focus by nose is a new, coveted feature!

Thank you for your reply!! I'm strongly considering the EOS R and Ninja V combo so this is very helpful.

I have this lens, seems to work really well with the EOS R so far. Since it's a mirrorless, I'm assuming I should, using the tap in console, switch my IS to live view priority instead of viewfinder priority for the best results?

It would be nice if the switch from back screen to EVF could automatically be disabled if the tilty-flippy screen is out and tilty flipped, otherwise if you keep the camera near your body the screen blanks out.

however, the Sony A7RII is WAY more sensitive than the CAnon is.

Thank you; somehow I could not capture the link.

I am sure they will have L telephoto, but I wish they weren't white! If they made them black that might be enough to make me switch from EF.

Good news - there's enough room in the RF mount to fit the C100 internal ND assembly. There would be no point to a cinema RF mount without the ability to get NDs behind native RF lenses. I did some measurements and created the graphic below.

I've only used the trial version and wasn't that impressed with the performance, issues with disconnects and downloading just jpegs, but that wasn't with an EOS-R it was with the 1DX MkII and WFT-E8A. It seems most of these apps have very varied user experiences so I suggested it as it specifically states EOS-R compatibility.

I did like a couple of the other features of the app though so maybe I'll end up getting it. One thing I did find interesting from a video posted by the developer, Apple are actively pushing developers to make subscription apps, in general, for non pro software packages, I don't like that model especially for things like iOS apps.

I agree with the statement that the majority of photographers are holding back right now, waiting to see where the companies are going with mirrorless and what the future will bring. I know I won't be making any major purchases until I see where mirrorless is taking us.

For the EOS-R to thrive Canon need to bring out a 1 DR and big whites. I'd agree a 500mm F4 or a 400mm F2.8 would need to come out for it.
I'd assume it would be late 2019 / early 2020 in time of the Tokyo Olympics which might be a real battleground between Japanese Manufacturers.
Professionals might be slow to adopt a 1 DR so it would need to be good and robust. Battery life needs to be good
You'll see plenty of 1DX II's and EF lens on sidelines for years to come.

Took my Canon 1DX MK II with me during our trip to Iceland last winter( December-January). Anyway, while walking on ice, I slipped and had a bad fall and my ! DX MKII, got off my hasnds and started bouncing on ice for about 3 meters Got so scared that something must have broken inside that it would be unsusable afterwards. After checking my 1 DX II , good thing, nothing happened and would you believe, while my 1 DX MK II was bouncing, it was taking pictures. I was even more hurt with fall than the !DX MK II.

If it had a lens on it, that is likely damaged internally, even if it seems ok, I'd have it checked out. A camera can have hidden internal damage as well,(bent parts, cracked circuit boards, AF sensor off, things that are not visible. A body is not as likely to suffer damage as a lens

Hello all,

Been thinking of treading into new territory and buying a good quality video camera. To date i'm shooting stills with 1DX2 and having great results but its not a fast paced video camera for capturing BIF. Strictly personal use and 95% for wildlife. I'd prefer if i could use my collection of L series lens's but my main preference is to capture birds in flight. A slow motion record feature would be desired slower than 250 fps. I specialize in photographing raptors in flight but it would be used all wildlife video applications. Am I looking for a ghost ...does such a beast exist ?

To be honest I'm overwhelmed by the selection of 4K video cameras and would appreciate some advice.
This is before we talk about post editing equipment needs. ;o(

I would like such a lens and I don't care how heavy it would be.

I also need such a lens but I'm stuck with use 50mm f/1.2L for taking pictures.

Yes, I recall the same info. February 2019. The October 2018 release date was for the camera, not the firmware.

Thanks for your input.

Canon G7 MII lacks only two things: a jack for an external microphone and a hot shoe.

I've had both lenses and would base it on what you plan to photograph. If you need technically perfect pixel peeping sharpness then go with the 35ii. I use it for landscape and it is probably sharpest lens I have right to edges. I had no issues with focus on 5dsr. I now use it on A7r3 and it works very well on that with mc11. For portraits I'd personally be perfectly happy with the original 35. I don't recall any focus issues with that one. I prefer the size and weight of the original, the 35ii feels bigger and heavier.

Nice images thanks - also the coma test of the 14 1.8 on your flickr page is really handy.

Researching the lenses I found these full frame comparisons of the 14 1.8 and 14-24 2.8 which others looking at these two lenses may find useful (found on facebook post below).

I ordered the 14-24 2.8 as for me it looks like it may be the best lens as it has more flexibility. The image quality was outstanding but it completely fell apart at 24mm. I've sent it straight back as there has to be something wrong with it - it would not get sharp across the frame until about f/11 at 24mm. I might order another copy though as other than the problem at 24mm it was extremely impressive.

lol people still buying EF lenses lol
